Do More With Less

Hello everyone ~  I have to make this short and sweet! I was introduced to this amazingly talented, creative, funny and versatile person just a few months age. Thank You Stephanie! Her name is Donna, from Popsicle Toes. If you have never seen or heard of her you need to go check her blog out! She is just INCREDIBLE! Well she is a guest designer for Do More with Less, another wonderful blog! Donna gives her secret out on how she gets her creations their AMAZING dimension! Thank you Donna!
So my son has a Birthday Party this weekend. I asked him what kind of card would you like me to make. Of course he said a dump truck! Ugh, another dump truck! I have to say I actually LOVED this dump truck! I made it very simple and easy... again a 5 year old is not going to care about it! LOL.
I used B is for Boy lite cartridge for the dump truck. My papers are PTI, SU and paper from my scrap stash(yellows). I used my Tim Holtz mesh embossing folder to give the dirt some texture. I also put these adorable gems for my tires! Thank You Stephanie ~ I LOVE them! My ribbon is from Micheal's and of course My Creative Time stamp set, Wow! So Many Candles . I hope you go over and check out both of these blogs... they will not dissapoint! Donna, Thank You for always being so kind, funny, inspiring and supportive!

I know the second picture is horrible but this camera is just acting up! Please don't forget that Whimsical Wednsdays is having a Birthday layout challenge this week... go over and check out what my fellow Dt's have created and the details. Also there is still time for the Royal Celebration challenge too.

  13. Kimmy your card is so adorable. I can see the dimension on the truck! Great job. I am so glad you like the little gems I sent you. They are such a little thing but add so much to a project. Great job with the embossing too. I am sure the little boy loved his b-day card. ;)

    Hugs,
    Stephanie
